The electorate for this election are the Foundation individual members that
are also committers for one of the official project teams repositories over
the Pike-Queens timeframe (Feb 22, 2017 23:59 UTC to Jan 29, 2018 23:59 UTC).

The electorate is requested to confirm their email address in gerrit,
review.openstack.org > Settings > Contact Information > Preferred Email,
prior to Feb 01, 2018 00:00 UTC so that the emailed ballots are mailed
to the correct email address.

Any member of an election electorate can propose their candidacy for the same
election. Nominees propose their candidacy by submitting a text file to the
openstack/election repository. See documentation below.

Each candidate must nominate themselves for each elected position, and are
encouraged to submit their own candidacy to gerrit, although where
appropriate, others may submit a candidacy for those who have already
self-nominated by other means.

For example Dana Developer (ddev on IRC) would compose a platform in a file
named “candidates/newton/Nova/dana@inconnu.org” to submit a Newton Nova PTL
candidacy. The election webpage will display the candidacy as
“Dana Developer (ddev)” based on the IRC nick stored in Dana’s foundation
member profile.

After the candidacy is submitted to gerrit, verification and approval will
be performed by elections officials, followed by an update to the approved
candidate list.

Except otherwise-noted in the project team description, the electorate for a
given PTL election are the Foundation individual members that are also
committers for one of the team’s repositories over the Pike-Queens timeframe (Feb 22, 2017 23:59 UTC to Jan 29, 2018 23:59 UTC).
